Why would he leave the best team currently who have helped shape his career since his junior years? He is a Mercedes man through and through and has never expressed any hunger or affinity to Ferrari seat like Vettel.

Not really about 2006, Merc backed MS from his junior years and he had no affiliation with Ferrari or desire to drive for us growing up.

Yes they did, they even got him in seat for the Sauber Mercedes C11, 1991 Le-Mans.

No i would hate to see Lewis at Ferrari, when Kimi goes, get Dani Ric, or even hate to say it, Max. Lewis no way. I know they want best and fastest for the team, but Lewis just isnt Ferrari. Or even his fanboys. Bad images for Ferrari.

I am sorry I dearly love Ferrari and I have images of Schumi, Alesi and Prost on my walls driving Ferraris but the day it is announced that Lewis has signed for Ferrari is the day I cease to be a Ferrari fan, yes I am aware 99% of people on here will hate me for that but I am only being honest.

also the thought of his so-very-toxic fans suddenly being Ferrari fans makes me want to vomit.

Reason: addition

To be honest, I couldnt imagine neither Vettel or Alonso driving for Ferrari. But I support/supported them as long as they're driving for Ferrari.
I don't think SM will hire someone who isn't going to attend a Formula1 event in order to visit Greece for holidays... We can't deny he's extremely fast tho..

any driver is FAST when they have a rocketship underneath them.....heck you can put the worst driver on the grid in that Mercedes spaceship and that person will do wonders.

how fast was Lewis in the piece of crap Mclaren he drove in 2011??? he was NOT that fast was he??? the one with the dumbo elephant ears for sidepods???? that's right he was no where....even button was driving better then him in that car on various occasions....

so to come to a conclusion, one HAS to have a good car in order to win championships......you can be the best driver in the world, if you have a DODGIE car underneath you, you ain't winning much

...the new SF70H looks amazing. Let's hope it's gonna be as FAST as it looks.

Ferrari will not consider him, on the basis of his personal life. He doesn't give priority to team events etc, rather he's more involved in social media. Also he talks to media too much

The only priority Lewis has for his team is to win WCC, and WDC. A true #1 team driver must give up his social life, friends, personal leisure time for the team. Oh! also to the press, No comment! Not allowed to give interviews, I'm a true team member. Only then should Ferrari consider him. Winning is not the main thing for a #1 Ferrari driver, Of the track is where it counts. The image is everything! Austria 2002 Shumy showed class giving up the #1 trophy to Rubens on the podium no less! What's a few million $$ in fines? Do the right thing.

Lewis may be the fastest driver out there but he would not be good for the marque!!
Lewis and Arrivabene........................the mind boggles....................
When you consider that he had trouble with Alonso Lewis would be double double trouble!!!
There is a lot more to a Ferrari driver than being fast discretion, commitment, humility and the team comes first!!!!! There are a number of more suitable candidates. Danny Ric should be top billing then Perez, Sainz, Ocon and maybe even Mad Max!!! He's maturing.
